Burial plot shortage in village
Saturday 31st October 2009, 10:15AM GMT.
Council chiefs are battling to solve a burial space shortage in a Staffordshire village.
A lack of parish council-owned plots in Cheslyn Hay, which has two cemeteries serving the village and neighbouring Great Wyrley, means capacity could be reached in five years.
There are just 54 graves left in Cheslyn Hay Cemetery in Cemetery Street, while at Great Wyrley Cemetery, in Station Street, Cheslyn Hay, 84 remain.
South Staffordshire Council chief executive Steve Winterflood said talks on the issue are at an early stage.
